One Perfect Thing: Navajo Rugs by Escalante

Using centuries-old techniques, the Zapotec weavers of Oaxaca Valley handcraft these beautiful rugs in the spirit of the great Navajo weavers. Each new design starts at the color pot, developing and testing dyes, creating perfectly-hued combinations. Local hand-spun yarns are then dyed over weeks before being handed over to master weavers at the loom.

 

Why We Love It:

 

1. The timelessness. A classic in Western design, these rugs stand the test of time. Rich colors and bold patterns translate into a variety of styles from traditional to contemporary, from shabby chic to structured simplicity.

 

2. The durability. Zapotec textiles can be woven of 100% wool or in mohair/wool blends. Both are incredibly strong fibres. Combined with expert weaving, Escalante provides long lasting, heirloom quality rugs that will be passed down for generations.

 

3. Customizable. Need a bigger rug or have a certain color scheme in mind? Work with our designers to create the perfect piece. It’s possible to add a ranch brand or logo to an existing rug or start from scratch with colors to suit any space.

 

4. The versatility. Equally great on the wall as art as they are on the floor for utility—layered and lovely. We hung rugs on the wall of our design studio, giving us a cozy look along with a dose of creative inspiration.
